Still from Adam Green’s “Aladdin.”
- Fan Binxing is the guy behind China’s loathed internet censorship. And he just had to use a VPN in front of a live audience of students during a presentation about internet safety. [Shanghaiist]
- Dutch researchers have created a 3D printed, extremely convincing fake Rembrandt using newly developed software. Critic Jonathan Jones has such a vitriolic reaction to this that you’d swear they had invented a machine fueled by burning the works of old masters. [The Guardian]
- London’s Maddox Gallery plans to show Ilma Gore’s portrait of Donald Trump with a micropenis after the artist faced censorship and threats in the U.S. [Artlyst]
- An interview with Daniel Hug, the director of Art Cologne, touching on the conflict with Berlin Gallery Weekend and the controversial German patrimony laws. [artnet News]
- The director of SUNY Purchase’s Neuberger Museum of Art will not be attending the opening of When Modern Was Contemporary: Selections from the Roy R. Neuberger Collection at the Mississippi Museum of Art in protest of that state’s new LGBTQ-discriminatory legislation. This comes on the heels of numerous businesses, events, and even governments pulling out of or boycotting North Carolina for similar legislation. [ART News]
- “He also got some notes on perspective growing up in a modernist house in Westchester. There, he and his brother (who became an astrophysicist
at NASA) were raised by a psychiatrist mother and a neurologist father, both atheist Jews. His mother volunteered at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and his father became a headache specialist in order to cure his own migraines.” You know how sometimes a piece of nonfiction sounds like an aside from the narrator of The Royal Tenenbaums? I think that’s why I love this piece on Adam Green by Michael Slenske. It’s an honest look at artwork that sounds a little bit amazing and a little bit stupid and mostly fun. [Blouin Artinfo]
- To protest India’s caste system and discriminatory attitudes towards people with dark skin, artist PS Jaya has been painting herself black before leaving the house every day for 100 days. I do not recommend recreating this performance in the United States. [the quint]
